As early as Annan entered the nightmare of "The Great Hunt", when he met Philip a few years ago.
Annan felt a little strangeness from the other party.
Philip said to Annan at the time...
What he pursued was [youth].
Annan asked him at that time, "Is it youth and immortality, or immortality?"
And Philip did not hesitate to make an adult choice——
"all I want."
He said so.
Prince Philip whispered at that time: "I don't want to grow old. It's just a once-in-a-lifetime experience..."
The following words were interrupted by fireworks.
And Annan didn't have the key to enter that nightmare at all - he was influenced by the "Glory" series and randomly arranged books to enter, and he has also completed 100% decryption. After that, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in the row.
That nightmare also has a "reminiscence" quality, ensuring that what is encountered is what happened in the past. It might be very difficult to get in again.
But just based on the broken words and Philip's tone of voice when he said these words, Annan could also judge some key information.
—Philip seems to have aged once.
And it's not a temporary curse of aging, nor is it a nightmare of a dying person.
Only a real and long-term experience of the inconvenience of the elderly, and an unforgettable experience of the pain caused by aging, will completely change his mind and dreams, and give birth to such a strong, almost alienated desire to enjoy life.
——His "desire for enjoyment" is so strong that it is even enough to make him completely abandon the power of the world.
Generally speaking, he is expensive as a prince. Even if the battle for the throne fails, it should not be difficult to enjoy the glory and wealth.
In other words... the fact that he wanted to obtain a higher enjoyment by desperately fighting for the throne can be said to be completely different.
"In addition, Philip also knows some things that he should not know. For example... using the blood of the devil to perform the Sacrament of Killing Blood to make his body young and healthy.
"And Philip has never been in contact with high-ranking fallen people—he himself is not a high-ranking priest of the cup-holding woman. Whether it is the correct use of the blood of the devil, or this kind of magic, it should not be The technology he has mastered."
Annan looked at Kafni and said in a deep voice: "I remember Kafni once told me that Philip once fell into a nightmare and had a nightmare where his life span was doubled. He even sold half of his life span , in exchange for a certain ability.”
"...Yes, I remember."
Cafney was a little confused: "But His Royal Highness Philip did become old, and even almost died of old age."
"That's right," Annan asked back, "but do you know what kind of ritual would sacrifice half of one's life span? And what kind of ritual would replenish these life spans?
"—You must know that members of the royal family are not allowed to use life extension rituals. If Philip just uses rituals to make himself young... But if his original life span has been exhausted, then use the 'Sacred Blood Saint' Ritual is an illegal ceremony. It is impossible for the Yinjue Church to ignore it."
Cafney froze.
She quickly realized something, and her eyes widened slightly: "That is to say... he continues to take toffee made from devil's blood, just to hide the illusion of his rejuvenation technique?"
Seeing this, Annan couldn't help chuckling: "You are all 'Noah'. Even the deception methods you use are exactly the same."
Kafni used to release herself as an advanced transcendent who yelled the childish words "I will become a queen" everywhere when she was young, making her curse be carried by others, and silently advanced. The unstable mind control on the body.
For a little girl of eight or nine years old, this is already considered an unusually bright mind. Can independently come up with this kind of plan and execute it calmly without relying on anyone's assistance... After he has escaped from the control state,
It can also continue to play the illusion of "I am still in control" for several years.
This is basically the limit of human intelligence.
Without Annan's help, Kafni would most likely be able to fulfill her wish at the end.
But in that case... Annan didn't completely purify her erosion and restore her sanity.
I'm afraid Noah will usher in the dark reign of a crazy and wise young queen. The tentacles protruding from her skirt will invisibly control the entire empire...or tear it apart completely.
"—And the tricks Philip uses are the same as yours."
Annan said in a deep voice: "You know that he was old and even about to die of old age, but the other nobles in Noah didn't know about it. Am I right?"
"……yes."
Cafney nodded slowly: "I'm afraid only I know about this matter now. Those nobles will certainly not realize that there is a problem... Even the eldest princess, she only knows that Philip once sold her own lifespan. But I never saw the moment when he was on the verge of death."
"Then, there is a reason why you were targeted by the rotten believers back then, but after you managed to escape from your mother, you were not continued to be targeted by Prince Philip."
Annan walked back to Kafni, stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and put them gently on Kafni's lips.
"——It was Philip who wanted to silence him. For him, you, even your father, cannot be his enemy... What Philip has to do is not want you to tell the eldest princess about it .”
Annan's eyes shone with wisdom: "But he didn't want you to realize...it was Philip who was trying to silence you.
"So, after the rotten believers were uprooted, Philip didn't make another move.
"And those nobles don't know that Philip's lifespan has long been exhausted. They don't even realize that Philip has extended his lifespan through a method allowed by the Silver Lord... and you and the eldest princess just thought that, This is because the 'Sacrament of Blood' performed in the blood of the devil was so effective that it was able to restore Philip to his youth."
"In other words, His Royal Highness Philip held the 'Sacrament of Blood' on a regular basis... just to make his rejuvenation reasonable!"
Salvatore blurted out.
Cafney then said slowly: "At the same time, it is also to draw our attention to 'why did he get the divine art of the Sacrament of Blood' and 'what is he doing with the fallen'... ..."
"That's right."
Annan nodded: "And after that, I got a piece of information. Philip's rejuvenation is related to a certain great curse.
"I vaguely realized something was wrong at the time—didn't Philip regain his youth by using the Sacrament of Killing Blood? Did he need to use a great spell?
"But until just now, when discussing those old nobles who are eager to prolong their lives, I suddenly thought of a detail...
"—Caffney once said that he was so old that he was about to [die of old age]."
Annan emphasized the last word.
